1. Do handmade products have a chance in the digital market?
Many people believe that handmade products are not suitable for online sales, because they are difficult to deliver or do not receive the same demand as industrial products. But the truth is that the Saudi and global markets are increasingly turning to products with a human touch and unique handcrafts. Every day, we see successful online stores based on handicrafts.
2. Why do people love handmade products?
People are tired of pre-made, repetitive products. They want something different, luxurious, and with a story. Handmade products offer this feeling because they are made with love, and their quality is evident in the details. Furthermore, there is a growing awareness in Saudi Arabia about supporting small businesses and local talent.
3. Does online selling serve artisans?
It certainly does; it gives them the opportunity to reach people they would not have been able to reach in the traditional market. Through an online store, craftspeople can showcase their work across the Kingdom, and possibly even outside of Saudi Arabia. They can explain the story of each product, how it was made, and the materials used, which provides significant added value.
4. Challenges You May Face
• Pricing: Some customers compare prices to ready-made products, and here you must highlight the value of handcrafted work.
• Delivery: Some products require special packaging to prevent breakage or damage, and this is an important point to consider.
• Photos and Display: Handmade products require professional photography that showcases their details, as customers cannot touch them.
5. How Can You Successfully Sell Your Handmade Products Online?
• Build a story around each product. People love to know how it was made and why it's different.
• High-quality photos that show the fabric, carving, engravings, or embroidery.
• Include reviews and feedback from customers who have tried your products.
• Facilitate ordering and payment through a well-organized and clear online store.
• Use social media for promotion, and share the manufacturing process in Instagram or Snapchat stories.
6. Successful Examples in Saudi Arabia
There are many local stores that specialize in handmade candles, oriental perfumes, knitting, painting, and embroidery, and have achieved remarkable success. The secret? Professional presentation and marketing, and a commitment to excellence and quality.
7. Are your products suitable for online sales?
If your handmade product is lightweight, easy to ship, and has a clear identity (such as an artwork, home decoration, or gift), your chances are excellent. However, if your product is very delicate or large, you may need to plan more carefully for the shipping and packaging process.
Handmade products are very suitable for online sales in the Saudi market, but success depends on presenting them professionally, with an organized online store, and smart marketing that tells their story. People are looking for excellence, and if your product has a true artistic touch, you're on the right track.
